In einem Interview mit dem Billboard Magazin reagierte sie schüchtern auf Fragen zu ihrer Beziehung. "We have a special relationship", sagt sie. "Justin is very easy to talk to, and that's hard to find with people in Los Angeles."

Ein Insider sagte uns aber kürzlich, dass Richie gehofft hatte, dass eine ernsthafte Beziehung daraus entsteht: "Besides hooking up it all started as really good friends so they have a great foundation", sagte die Quelle damals. "They have not discussed titles yet with each other, just taking it slow."

"Sofia would like to be exclusive and hopes it will lead into that shortly. She has always had something for Justin."
